Susan - If you don't mind me asking; When did your mother and father get together? Were there any heated political discussions between them considering their backgrounds? What took you to California?
Captain Crow - I enjoyed reading your description of the "Cracker Cavaliers". The more people write, the more I learn.
I suppose what got me to thinking about this was I finally got around to cleaning up my office the other day and put away my copy of "The Killer Angels". I heard or read a few years ago (please don't ask where - I don't remember), that there were literally hundreds of stories similar to the story of the 20th Maine. Michael Shaara liked that one, and since it was his book, he chose to focus part of his book on this unit. It got me to thinking - how many great stories are out there that I will never know about? Certainly with the background of many of the people that share on this board, there must be several worth writing about. Thanks to you that did, and thanks to those that will do in the future.
